If a brand new and fresh look and feel defines your New Year’s Resolutions, we have a treat for you. Granite is by far the best choice for kitchen countertops. They are resilient, 100% natural, incredibly unique, and they add exceptional value to your home.
To inspire your creativity and natural flair for all things fresh for the new year, we look at four reasons why granite countertops are a must-have in every modern kitchen.
They increase the value of your home
Whether it’s an in-house magazine or a feature on a home improvement television show, watch every consumer ask for granite as their favoured option for a makeover. Everyone loves granite, and the value it adds to your home is unmatched.
Thanks to its durability and natural beauty, granite remains the most popular option in home improvement. This is especially true if you’re looking to sell your home. While living in a buyer’s market, stand-out features like granite guarantee a homeowner’s return on investment and can easily tip a sale in your favour.
Unmatched designs and aesthetics
As a naturally formed stone, no two granite slabs are the same. Every inch of stone is defined by its unique character, from rich earthy tones to vibrant green, blue, red and yellow hues and muted neutrals such as grey, white and black. You can compare a granite countertop to a one-of-a-kind and unique masterpiece.
From the subtle tones of Zimbabwe Black to the striking and stand-out golden veins of African Ivory Coast, granite has various colours, shades and hues to match your interior design direction. What’s more, for those who enjoy the beauty and appeal of marble but are put off by the maintenance, there are a host of white granite selections that emulate and sometimes even enhance the appeal of marble.
The benefits of granite
On a practical level, granite is also one of the most durable stone countertops on the market. Long-lasting and solid, granite is stain, etch and heat resistant, meaning that all you need to do to maintain it is to wipe it down with a soft cloth and detergent.
Because of its heat-resistant properties, granite won’t get scorched if you place a hot pan on it. As a kitchen countertop, this is by far an essential application. You need durability and presence; thankfully, granite offers everything in one gorgeous package.
Granite as a long-term investment
Whether installing them now or a few years, granite countertops are guaranteed to last a lifetime. Other synthetic or wood-based materials, sometimes even more expensive than granite, will need to be replaced once or twice within a thirty-year cycle.
Looking for suitable countertop materials and understanding how they blend into the overall room aesthetic, is integral in defining a room’s function. This is especially true for kitchen and bathroom countertops which incur the most use and bear the brunt of our daily routines. For this function alone, a timeless and durable natural stone such as granite is an easy, affordable, and practical choice.
